Tomorrow marks the first day of my journey to Cape Breton. In an attempt to prepare for the two-day long train ride - that was 60% discounted... thank you VIA Rail strike - I've been filling my iPod with new music.
First I turned to iTunes. I thought, why not help some artists out and actually pay for their music? Of course I instantly turned to the it-song of the summer, I Gotta Feeling. It was not a good night. The song was not $1, but $1.29. Really, iTunes?
The next step for me was to turn to downloading. However, my computer is as old as my high school classmates' children, so that didn't work out too well.
Luckily, I have a 60s obsessed roommate, and she let me raid her CD stash. I picked up some Jefferson Airplane, Peter, Bjorn & John, Grizzly Bear, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and, oddly enough, the soundtrack to The Royal Tenenbaums.
Here's to free, and not even stolen, music.

It's funny, eh?
Buying music these days. It's almost like we're donating to the artist, since we have no real obligation to pay for it.
